I am completing high school in the spring, so I have not completed any equine college courses. However, I am very eager to learn more about all aspects of horses, from training or riding, to injuries and medical aspects. I plan to have a future career in the horse world, most likely as an equine surgeon or a trainer. I have also helped treat minor injuries that have occurred at the stables I ride at and was a volunteer who taught multiple children for summer camps about horse health.

School includes lots of studying and tutoring other students. Stable hand jobs include: Feeding hay and grain, turning horses in and out, cleaning stalls, cleaning tack, cobwebbing, and brushing and exercising horses.
